Reichert Wins Again

Republican David Reichert wins the House seat for a third time, this being his second victory over candidate Darcy Burner. Burner wanted to wait until all the votes were counted to concede, but once she saw that she was trailing by 8,500 votes, she knew it was time to wave the white flag. Towards the end of the race the major issue concerning voters was the problems facing our nations economy. Reichert was able to take advantage of this by motivating people with his economic policy, where as Buner seemed to be less concerned in this area, which may have cost her the race.
